Her husband, Lieutenant Aaron Allan was killed in the line of duty on July 27, 2017.

In honor of her husband, Stacy has created the Facebook page called “First Day Hero” which she hopes will start a movement that honors her husband by making sure that children across the country know they are loved and that they matter.

Hours before his death, Lt. Allan was photographed walking his son to his first day of school. That photo has since been shared around the country and has become one of the most memorable photos of Lt. Allan.
